Mandriva/ROSA/Mageia have a nice control panel. Even Opensuse has one. We
should implement this.

I agree. Disabling SElinux is usually not needed.

We can have 2 images or maybe 2 cds. I doubt people use languages other
than english.

Very important.

Lxde can be made to look great. I am currently typing this from rosa lxde
and it looks awesome. I have never tried mint lxde but i think it also
looks good. I think we should focus on a light de like lxde or xfce in
addition to a heavy de like gnome.



I also think we should have a portal where people can request new
programmes to be packaged for fedora.
